Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13

The woman's shrill accusations attracted a lot of people’s stares. Nevertheless, Madeline tried to remain polite. “Madam, you're the one who bumped into me just now. Plus, I’m not the Whitmans’ maid.”

The woman was stunned. Then. she looked at Madeline's outfit. A smile of disdain appeared on her elegant face. “You don’t look like a maid at all. You look more like a beggar from the streets.”

Subsequently. sniggers were heard from one side. Nevertheless, Madeline did not want to argue with her anymore. However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Meredith walking over.

She was dressed to the nines and had nice makeup on her face. When she saw Madeline. She displayed a shocked expression. “Oh, it’s you. Maddie.”

When the woman heard what Meredith had said. she looked at Madeline in contempt. “Mrs.

Whitman. you know this stupid beggar?”

Madeline was stunned. This woman thought Meredith was Jeremy's wife. However, it was obvious that Meredith was not going to correct her. On the contrary. she gave the woman a smile.

“Mrs. Langford. please just let this go for my sake.”

“Since Mrs. Whitman has said the word, I'll just let it go.” The woman looked at Madeline in agitation. “Watch where you're going next time!”

Madeline was about to tell her who she was, but Meredith stopped her and grabbed her arm with a concerned expression on her face. “Maddie. are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Madeline looked at her pretentious face and felt disgusted. Nonetheless, as she was about to walk away, someone grabbed her arm.

“Don't go yet!” It was that woman from just now. and she was furious. “No wonder you ran into me on purpose. You wanted to steal my bracelet!”

How weird. Madeline felt that it was preposterous. On the other hand. Meredith quickly ran over to explain on her behalf, “Mrs. Langford. this has to be a mistake. Maddie once had the habit of pocketing things that did not belong to her, but she has changed now.”

It did not sound like an explanation at all. Instead, it sounded like proof that Madeline was indeed a thief.

The accusations became louder and louder around them. Madeline was worried that it would

ruin the Whitmans’ reputation, so she explained, “I've never stolen anything!”
